Compiling From Source

Pre-requirements:

  • ROS Indigo or Jade (Only tested on Ubuntu)
  • Internet connection
  • Ubuntu packages: build-esstential, python-rosdep, python-catkin-tools
  • Basic familiarity with building ROS packages
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential python-rosdep python-catkin-tools

To compile from source, you need to clone the source code in a new or existing catkin workspace, use rosdep to install dependencies and finally compile the workspace using catkin. The following commands demonstrate this procedure in a newly created catkin workspace.

# Create and initialize the workspace
$ mkdir -p ~/bebop_ws/src && cd ~/bebop_ws
$ catkin init
$ git clone https://github.com/AutonomyLab/bebop_autonomy.git src/bebop_autonomy
# Update rosdep database and install dependencies
$ rosdep update
$ rosdep install --from-paths src -i
# Build the workspace
$ catkin build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

The first time build may take up to 15 minutes, since ARDroneSDK3’s build script downloads and compiles ~20 packages from Internet.

$ cd ~/bebop_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/ros-teleop/teleop_tools.git
# Do rosdep steps again
